Post Where to get replacement bushing for longtail. Please help!
I recently bought a boat that came with a longtail. I was told it was a mudbuddy but I don't think it is... anyway, there was quite a bit of play in the prop shaft so I decided to take the prop off and replace the bushing... problem is after getting it apart I can't find anywhere to get another one. If anyone has ever seen something like the pictures I posted or has any ideas on something that would work i would greatly appreciate it! ... i'm thinking it's just a homemade frame but if anyone knows better id appreciate that also. Thanks!

What is it then? I don’t think go devils have a cab plate like that that is rounded, theirs are usually flat. Think it’s just an off brand one or maybe a beaver tail?

Get specs on the old bushing and go on McMaster-Carr website. Get the oil impregnated bushings this will help lubricate it. The ID will/should be 3/4" since most shafts are that size. You just need the length and OD. Good luck
BTW that is a homebuilt mud motor
